After
only two albums “Pride of Lions” released in 2003 and “The Destiny
Stone” released in 2004, Jim Peternik (Survivor) and his men are back
with a double CD and a live DVD. “Live in Belgium
” was recorded on the Lokerse Feesten festival in front of twenty
thousand people.
“Live
in Belgium
” is packed with great melodic rock, there are five songs from the
debut album and four from “The Destiny Stone” and in between there
are three Survivor classics “The Search is Over”, “I Can’t Hold
Back” and “Eye of the Tiger” plus a track from Peternik’s The
Ides of March called “Vehicle”.
Pride
of Lions delivers a tight performance, the sound is great and the
audience really gets into the songs. The CD comes with a bonus studio CD
with seven tracks in the usual Pride of Lions style.
There
are also lots of extras on the DVD like the video for “Sound of Home”
and a TV performance with a couple of acoustic songs etc. This is one of
the few AOR/Melodic Rock live albums/DVD’s that I really like.
Recommended tracks:
“Sound of Home”, “Black Ribbons” & “Man behind the
Mask”.
